Pointless Fighting Power When You Are Clearly Outgunned

Fair warning to you

My fellow brethren

As justified as your cause 

May well indeed be

If you wish to take

The powers that be on

And state your case

Not only do they have and come

As standard uniform and issue 

With a gun and bullets in tow

They also have

Something far more powerful as well

And that comes in the form of a Badge

And if you somehow manage to

Avoid that as well

You will have your day in court

That what which you set out to achieve

They will also then name

The time and place

Court and judge of their own choosing

And after that a jail and cell

To keep you quiet and teach you a lesson 

And your likes suppressed as well 

Because no one takes on the man and ever wins

No matter and despite how justified your cause

Because the deck is stacked firmly in their favor

And they hold all the cards 

And they will simply dismiss you

And treat you as a

Joker

Trying to compete with the

Bad and Ugly

When you are quite clearly outgunned

In every conceivable possible way 

Is tantamount to you 

Bringing a toothpick 

To a gunfight
